TabletMod.com is a site dedicated to supplying enclosure kits for DIY Cintiq projects. Using an
enclosure in the way described here protects your tablet warranty. You don't need to dismantle/cut or
damage your expensive wacom/other tablet. DIY is more affordable and easy to do.
Why make your own Cintiq like device? Simple, Cintiqs are cool but expensive.
It is possible to construct ones own using a graphics tablet (usually a wacom) and simply
attaching an LCD screen to it. This was done on the site www.bongofish.co.uk which also hosts
a forum for the DIY Cintiq community.
The process has often been described as intimidating or difficult, but it is in fact quite simple.
Enclosures are often the most difficult part of the process, so this site supplies them. All you
have to do is put it together. The videos on this site show how a DIY Cintiq project can be
completed with relative ease by anyone. Also rather than taking weeks or months the
construction takes hours - only because you need to wait for glue and paint (if you choose to
paint) to dry. The result is a solid DIY tablet that does everything a Cintiq does.
No complex electronics knowledge is required. No workshop, no power tools. Just common
sense, due caution and desire. If you already have a tablet, it will cost about $300 - $350 to
build a solid DIY Cintiq. It can of course be done for a lot less, but will take longer, require more
effort , experimentation and will probably void your warranty.
The enclosures are all laser cut from acrylic.
